Wideload is the name of several different fictional characters in the various Transformers universes.
Wideload (Rollerbot in Italy) is a member of the Throttlebot team; Wideload transforms into a dump truck. Wideload's most glaring personality trait is that he is very concerned about his appearance, and ironically seeks to remain clean and shiny at all times.
Wideload was named the 20th top unfortunately named Transformer by Topless Robot.
Wideload's first appearance was in #30 where he and the other four Cybertronian Throttlebots were part of a gang of Autobot thieves stealing Energon from the Decepticons.
In Transformers (Marvel Comics U.S.) issues #29-30, Goldbug encounters, and later leads the Throttlebots (Chase, Freeway, Rollbar, Searchlight, and Wideload) after he and Blaster are overwhelmed by a group of Decepticon Triple Changers infected by 'scraplets', a group of toy-sized viral robots that turn into bolts and screws and eat metal upon contact. Due to side stories and changes in the books direction, the Throttlebots (excluding Goldbug) appear very infrequently.
Wideload's body is destroyed in issue 37 by Walter Barret, but his brain survives in a toy car.
The Throttlebots were deactivated by Starscream in issue #50 of the series.
The Throttlebots are among the troops commanded by Rodimus Prime in their attempt to rescue the body of Optimus Prime from the lab of Doctor Mark Morgan. They are infected with the hate plague.
